EXCLUSIVE EVENT | AFTERNOON TEA | EVERGREEN: A BOTANICAL LIFE with Professor Tim Entwisle

Thursday 2 Nov 2023, 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM

 

Your ticket includes a lecture by our special guest Professor Tim Entwisle, and an afternoon tea of petit fours tea or Market Lane coffee, served on our delightful Wedgwood fine bone china.

A great botanic garden addresses the key threats of our time, such as climate change and plant extinction, while simultaneously serving up gorgeous landscapes and offering a balm to the weary human spirit. Professor Entwisle will outline why botanic gardens remain important today – perhaps more than ever – through his own personal journey in some of the world’s finest.

Copies of Tim’s book, Evergreen: The Botanical Life of a Plant Punk  (Thames and Hudson, 2022) will be available for purchase at the event.

This special event is supported The Friends of TJC.
